Two Great Games

Two of the greatest games that you can play in the local pub are darts and billiards. Billiards and darts are two games that have been around for a long time. You can trace their history back to the Middle Ages in England.

There are many games that you can play on a billiard table. One of the more popular games is snooker. Snooker is a game that requires a lot of skill and patience. It is a game of defense and offense.

To start a game of snooker you will need a white ball, or cue ball, a yellow ball, a green ball, a brown ball, a blue ball, a pink ball, and a black ball. You will also need 15 red balls.

A billiard table has six pockets. The object of the game of snooker is to sink a red ball followed by a colored ball. Each of the colored balls are worth different points.

A yellow ball is worth two points, a green ball is worth three points, a brown ball is worth four points, a blue ball is worth five points, a pink ball is worth six points, and a black ball is worth seven points.

You shoot the cue ball at the red and colored balls until you miss. Once you miss your shot, your opponent will have an opportunity to do the same. The end of the game is determined by who has the most points once all of the balls have been pocketed.

Darts is another great game to play at home or in a pub. There are many different dart games that players can enjoy. Perhaps two of the more popular dart games are 501 and 301. When you play these two games you simply play until you reach the total. The first person or team to reach the total wins the game.

Many professional players from all around the world enjoy playing both billiards and darts. In fact, if you are good at either one of these games you can make a lot of money.

The vast majority of players however are nonprofessionals simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of these games while drinking a pint or two. If you have never played either of these games you owe it to yourself to give them a try. Once you have tried darts or billiards you will be a player for life.
